That's a really touching song and the music video really compliments the song's lyrics really well. Thanks for sharing it with me. :)

It's still interesting to think that during the Romantic period, novels were considered the lowest form of literature ((Poetry was the highest form)). Therefore, women were allowed to write novels. That's why there's so many female novelists during the Romantic period (i.e. Austen, Shelley, etc.).

 This has happened to me sometimes when I still had my phone on vibrate. I kept thinking my phone was vibrating as if someone was calling, but when I checked no one was. Then I found this picture and I was all: "Oh... now it all makes sense." *laughs*

Rail travel, the advent of the telegraph, daily newspapers, and the manufacture and import of goods via steamship from all over the globe collapsed time and space, and flooded the homes of the affluent with new luxuries and conveniences (xxxv-xxxvi). *cracks up laughing* That's from the introduction of one of my anthology book for Victorian Lit. I couldn't help but think of Doctor Who when I read the "time and space" part, lol. I wonder if my friend (and classmate) Melissa will pick up on that part too when she reads it.

Scores of statistical investigations, surveys, and government reports known as "Blue Books" on the condition of inner-city neighbourhoods culminated in the Public Health Acts of 1848 and the 1870s (xxxvi). Totally thought of River Song and the Doctor's Tardis blue diaries when I read this.
*chuckles* This has to be the first time where I've read a school book and I've come across several snippets of the text that reminds me of Doctor Who. Is this a sign or something?

Reading about the Irish potato famine reminds of a school project I did years back. Always interesting how various school projects start connecting to each other over time.

Incorporating supernatural and psychological elements in their work, writers such as H. Rider Haggard, Arthur Conan Doyle, Rudyard Kipling, and Robert Louis Stevenson used colonial settings to explore themes of racial degeneration and human "savagery" (xlvi).Yay for Sir Arthur Conan Doyle! :D

The culture of Victorian Britain was very much a visual one, with public amusements, popular shows, traveling exhibitions, circuses, sporting events, holiday resorts, and public gardens to cater to every stratum of a society that had a growing amount of both disposable income and leisure time (LIII-LIV).It's nice to be able to read some "joyful" aspects of the Victorian Era after reading about the poor conditions of Victorians financially and health wise.
